First of all, (Canadian) national security comes first for me. That’s why I’m blogging here.

It’s in my nature to play at being a cross between William Prynne and N2 for the masses. Comes from being raised as an MA (02420) Republican and named after (and by family legend descended from) the guy who started the American democratic experiment.

I would say the current generation of neo-cons has gone a bit overboard with the exoteric / esoteric business model, so if I can pump some oxygen onto their schemes, so much the better.

On the other hand, I’m a great subscriber to Leo’s side of the Strauss-Kojeve controversy, so I’m expecting the neo-liberals to be the more personally-to-me dangerous of the two contending factions. Indeed, from her first puff piece in Newsweek on the occasion of Bill’s first entering the primaries, I’ve had Hillary pegged as the anti-Christ 😉

I think it’s hilarious that she got headed off at the pass by Obama, of all people. It’s not who America’s Fearless Leader is that’s important (even you’ve got that one pretty well cased) but what he represents — the legacy of William Grant Stairs, the guy who actually brought on the End of Days (and died when he was just a kid into the bargain).

And another thing, did you notice that the venue for the above was the “Wohlstetter Conference Center”? If I have to this point attracted any serious and unfriendly attention from those quarters, they’ve probably by now figured out that just about everything Albert brought to the SALT table came right out of my father’s work. By association, I’m not exactly an outsider.

Let me know in which camp you put the guy who wrote the entry above. I wanna send him sum flours.

“Subprime was a symptom of the problem,” said James F. Keegan, a bond portfolio manager at American Century Investments, a mutual fund company. “The problem was we had a debt or credit bubble.” The bursting of that bubble has led to steep losses across the financial industry.

As home prices fall and banks tighten lending standards, people with good, or prime, credit histories are falling behind on their payments for home loans, auto loans and credit cards at a quickening pace, according to industry data and economists.
